Terrific story line and sound track. Worthy of a second viewing to pick up on the nuances.

Where can I find the music from the film please?

Wow what a sensual movie! I could not imagine that movies like this were still able to be made! Of course the story is your old classic young girl older man, but it is a tender love and a change of violence and sex on the screen. Good message for women out there! Love is beautiful, but education is your best friend!

Fascinating, but rather unsettling in terms of the parents' reaction (or rather, lack thereof) to their teenage daughter's affair with a much older man.
